This could be done best by including little things like a logo on all the mails you send.

Make sure that the emails use exactly the same colors that have been used throughout the website. You can however add some aesthetic colors to the email, while making sure it stills relates with the existing color scheme of website. The color should be used so that it does not get difficult for the users to read the content.

Other thing that could be done to include website design in to emails is to make use of the same typography in the mails as used in website. This would encourage familiarity and recognition for the brand amongst the users.

You can make some changes in the content of email, depending upon the type of content that you are presenting. However, for strictly business emails, you will need to make use of standard font so that it reflects the same design elements.

Well this might seem a less important aspect from the point of view of design, but you should keep in mind that the links coming from navigation bars in the emails should replicate the website navigation and should be using the same page names to make it easy for the user to toggle from email to website. Owing to the ease of navigating the website, you can achieve lower bounce rates.

Last but not the least, you will need to use call to action in the mail that is similar to what you have displayed over the website. This way you could be sure that the user feels familiar with the call to action and navigates without any hesitation. When the user recognizes that the brand is displaying the same CTA (Call To Action) button over the mail as the website, they would feel more comfortable in navigating from page to page and leading to conversions.
